Michelle Keegan makeup tutorial!

If I could look like any celebrity,hands down I would probably choose Michelle Keegan, I mean have you seen her her face/body/everything about her is amazing and when I saw this recent picture of her I knew I had to try and re-create it! After looking at what she'd used turns out I only have on same product but I tried my best anyway!
I moisturised and primed the face and the started with foundation. I've been loving the mac moisture mineralise at the moment so I went for that in nw20! 
I next went in with the mac studio finish concealer in nc20 to cover any imperfections as michelle always looks flawless! I then took the only product I had the same which is the mac prep and prime highlight pen in light boost to brighten under the eyes! 
I then set the highlighted parts of the face with my mac mineralise skin finish in light
Michelle's cheek bones always look on point and cause my chubby cheeks are never going to look that perfect I took my mineralise skin finish in medium plus to contour the cheeks! I then applied the benefit rocketeur blush to the apples of my cheeks for abit of colour and then highlighted the tops of the cheek bones with msf in soft and gentle! 
Her eyebrows in this picture look amazing but I can't seem to make mine ever look that great so I just stuck to my usual brow routine using the benefit browzings in light! 
For the eyes I decided to use the vice 2 palette and I used the royal and langnickle brushes and one mac brush. To start I took the colour rewind on the crease brush to use as the transition colour. I then took the smudger brush and the colour radar and applied it to the outer v of my eye and used the mac 224 brush to blend out.Next I took the lip brush from the set and applied the colour habit to the lid. I lastly took the eye detailer brush and applied the colour dope to the inner corner to brighten the eye! 
I then moved onto eyeliner. I took mac smoulder pencil and put that in the water and tight line and blended it under the lashes,I then lined my top lash line and winged it out with the rimmel scandal eyes felt liner and lastly added lashings of benefit they're real to complete the look! 
And you're done! If you're good with makeup then you might be looking more like michelle keegan than I did but I still really loved the look! I love a brown smokey look and this is perfect! 
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial they're all I ever seem to do but I just love re creating looks I've seen on celebrities! 

Who's your celebrity girl crush,so I feel less weird for having them haha!

Until next time xx

Lush Snow Fairy!

When it comes to Christmas one of my favourite things has to be going to lush and seeing all the Christmas range and you can't leave without picking up a bottle of snow fairy! 
This is literally my favourite scent ever it's so sweet it's smells like bubble gum and I'll never get tired of the smell it should be out all year! 
I filled the bath with with as many bubbles as I could get and dropped in a pink bath bomb and was left with the best looking bath you can find!
Snow fairy doesn't only smell amazing but it looks amazing aswell. It's bright pink and if you look closely it's got little sparkles I'm it. It's genuinely such an amazing product! 
I wish I could buy snow fairy every day and if you've tried it you'll know why I can't get enough of the stuff. And if you haven't tired it then what are you playing at!! 

Sorry it's been such a while since my last post I've just been working so much I haven't had time to sit down and find something to post! 

What's your favourite product from lush..

Until next time xx

Birmingham Haul!

As soon as pay day rolls along it's a must to go on a shopping trip and this time was no different. It had been waaaay to long since I'd been and I had a whole list of what I wanted... 
I'd been after some new jeans and some printed leggings for quite a while so I had to try topshop. I unfortunately couldn't find the leggings I wanted but I found some jeans I fell in love with. They're a light demiem sort of vintage in the leigh collection and were £40! 
I'd heard the Christmas lush range had come out and I could no walk past there without picking up a bottle of snow fairy! One of the best things about Christmas this stuff is! I think this was about £3.75 or around that price 
I some how ended up in the Disney shop. I never go there but it's just so cute in there and I found this cute little mermaid cup that I couldn't leave and it was only £4!!
We had to take abit of a break part way to stop for abit of food and of course it had to be a nandos. And it was just amaaaazing! 
I also got to try my first everrrr Starbucks which was also amazing I went for the strawberries and cream milkshake type drink (can't remember the actual name of it) 
Back to the shopping and my next stop was superdrug. I actually went to find myself a concealer but the one I wanted,they didn't have my colour in so I ended up going abit mental! 
I went to buy one of the models own diamond luxe varnishes and found that they were on buy one get one half price so I brought a pastel mint green polish aswell! I think they were about £4/5 each 
I also brought some acrylic tips. I've been trying to learn to do them myself at home instead of paying to have them done and i thought I'd try this set out for £12. I also picked up a brown dry shampoo cause I'd ran out and this one was next to the till for £1.99! 
 My last stop was my second home of Selfridges. I'd been wanting to purchase the nars sheer glow foundation forever and I thought today was the day. I went for the colour mont blanc which was around £31 
As I couldn't find the concealer I actually went for in superdrug I decided to treat myself to one from mac cause they're just amazing. I went for the pro long wear concealer in nw15 and then I also found the prep & prime highlighting pens that just look amazing and I purchased one of those in the shade light boost! 

I hope you enjoyed having a nosey at what I'd been buying yesterday and I hope you enjoyed my first ever haul. I will get better at taking phots for it,the lighting was abit rubbish in these ones!

Until next time xx

Kendall Jenner tutorial

If you're the definition of one of those "typical white girls" out there then you're bound to have a huge girl crush on the kardashian/jenner clan and you'll spend your days trying to turn yourself into your favourite one for the day. Well that's what I did today anyway...
I spotted this picture of Kendall jenner and fell in love with the look. It looks amazing,it's got the classic "pin up" look to it,it's pretty easy to re-create and it's day time appropriate! 
To start off the look I stuck to my usual foundation routine,my face didn't like quite as flawless as Kendalls does however :( I then went on to contour the cheeks a little. It's not too noticeable she's got anything on but you can tell she probably would I used mac mineralise skin finish in medium plus for this! 
I then went on to brows. Hers are quite defined but nothing to heavy. I stuck to my usual routine but changed the shape slightly and I used the benefit brow zings palette in light for this 
I primed my lids with urban decay primer potion in Eden and took the colour naked from the naked one palette and applied that to the crease with my smudger brush. Kendall doesn't have much colour on her eyes but this helps to just define the eye shape,like a contour for the eye! 
I then took my favourite eyeliner which is the rimmel scandal eyes felt tip liner but you can use whatever liner you prefer! I would recommend however either a gel,liquid or felt tip as you can get a better point with these types. Start off by lining the upper lash line and wing it out as you normally would. Then take the line into the inner corner and pull it out so there is a noticeable line there (sorry for the rubbish explanation,just look a the pictures if you don't get it) 
Then add lashings of your favourites mascara which of course has to be benefit they're real 
The last step is the red lips! I lined my lips to start with a nude pencil. You can also use a red coloured liner or skip the step completely if you're brave enough and then all you've got to do is fill the lips in with the perfect fire truck red colour. I went for mac ruby woo,and you're done!
( I even stole my mums dressing gown so we look the same) I'm loving this look it's just a classic 50's sort of pin up look an it's wearable both day and night,and you only really need 4 main products that pretty much everyone will own! 

Enjoy xx
